Known for Military art
(18 September 1858, Amsterdam - 11 December 1933, The Hague) was a Dutch painter and illustrator, famed for his military art.
The artist's father, John Cornelis Hoynck van Papendrecht, was an accomplished student of drawing and painting, a skill that manifested itself in him from an early age. He completed his studies at the Amsterdam Handelsschool at commerce. At the urging of Charles Rochussen, a friend of his father's and a doyen of Dutch art, joined the winter programme at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. After two years in Antwerp, van Papendrecht lived in Munich for four years to continue his training.
In 1884, van Papendrecht returned to Amsterdam. In 1889, he married a clergyman's daughter, Johanna Philippa van Gorkom. In 1892, the couple moved to Amstelveen and then to Rheden near Arnhem where they remained till 1902. The artist's final residence was in The Hague where he continued to live till his death in 1933.

His fame as an illustrator was definitively established in 1893 following his contributions to a series of books that recorded the history of the Dutch Horse Artillery Corps (The Yellow Riders)
Besides being a gifted illustrator, van Papendrecht was also a master of watercolour. Several hundred watercolours are extant in his name.

Silver medal for Art and Science of the House of Orange (1906)

Military Art
Hoynck van Papendrecht's major fame stemmed from his vibrant paintings of military life. Until well into the 19th century, ideas of patriotism and military heroism played a major role in Dutch military art, and van Papendrecht was attracted to army scenes from early in his career. Leading painters of this innovative direction in the patriotic painting were the young painters George Hendrik Breitner and Isaac Israëls, but especially Hoynck van Papendrecht. In 1875, he created romanticised heroic paintings based on the Battle of Waterloo (1815) and the Belgian Revolution (1830-1839).Along with his teacher Charles Rochussen, he collaborated with the officers Willem Constantijn Staring and Nicolaas van Es to create realistic illustrations for newsmagazines such as Elsevier and Eigen Haard, thereby vastly increasing the audience for military art.
Landscapes and Portraiture[edit]Joannes Benedictus van Heutsz with his staff during the attack on Bateë-iliëk in 1901, by Jan Hoynck van PapendrechtAlongside his interest in military art, Hoynck van Papendrecht was deeply involved in landscape painting as well as portraiture. Owing to his careful study of his subjects and an acute eye for detail, his works are often treated as historical sources of information. He was recruited by the British art weekly The Graphic to make sketches of delegates to the Hague Conventions, in addition to the portraits of soldiers that he already published in it.
In 1900, the famous book The Uniforms of the Dutch Navy and Army appeared in two parts, in which many of the illustrations were contributed by van Papendrecht
